                 Neo-Darwinism and Mutations
                 In order to find a solution, Darwinists advanced the "Modern Synthetic
            Theory," or as it is more commonly known, Neo-Darwinism, at the end of the
            1930s. Neo-Darwinism added mutations, which are distortions formed in the
            genes of living beings due to such external factors as radiation or replication
            errors, as the "cause of favorable variations" in addition to natural mutation.
                 Today, the model that Darwinists espouse, despite their own awareness
            of its scientific invalidity, is neo-Darwinism. The theory maintains that
            millions of living beings formed as a result of a process whereby numerous
            complex organs of these organisms (e.g., ears, eyes, lungs, and wings)
            underwent "mutations," that is, genetic disorders. Yet, there is an outright
            scientific fact that totally undermines this theory: Mutations do not cause
            living beings to develop; on the contrary, they are always harmful.
                 The reason for this is very simple: DNA has a very complex structure,
            and random effects can only harm it.
            The American geneticist B. G.
            Ranganathan explains this as follows:

                 First, genuine mutations are
                 very rare in nature. Secondly,
                 most mutations are harmful
                 since they are random, rather
                 than orderly changes in the
                 structure of genes; any random
                 change in a highly ordered
                 system will be for the worse, not
                 for the better. For example, if an
                 earthquake were to shake a
                 highly ordered structure such
                 as a building, there would be a
                 random     change    in   the   All mutations observed in human beings
                                                  are harmful. That is because living DNA
                 framework of the building
                                                       has a highly complex order. Any
                 which, in all probability, would   random impact on this molecule can
                 not be an improvement. 32            only be damaging to the organism.
                                                      Changes caused by mutations are
                 Not surprisingly, no mutation    always death, handicaps and diseases.
